The Wicked Symphony — четвёртый полноформатный альбом проекта Avantasia вокалиста группы Edguy Тобиаса Саммета, вышедший 3 апреля 2010 года одновременно с альбомом Angel of Babylon. В записи приняли участие музыканты из многих известных рок-групп, таких как Masterplan, Symphony X, Scorpions и других. Сюжет The Wicked Symphony продолжает историю, начатую в The Scarecrow, о судьбе одинокого человека-«пугала», страдающего от безответной любви и терзаемого внутренними демонами[1].
